| 32. | In the early 60's, he investigated stress phenomena in nuclear fuel elements for the UK Atomic Energy Authority.
|
| 33. | It then pivoted and turned to lie horizontally on the racks of fuel elements stored in the pool.
|
| 34. | Each channel held up to 4 fuel elements and extended completely through to the inside of the cylinder.
|
| 35. | Since mid-1994, they have denied all licenses to civilian nuclear plants for shipping fuel elements to the submarine fleets.
|
| 36. | Each fuel element is encased in extremely tough iridium metal and then embedded in high-strength blocks of heat-resistant graphite.
|
| 37. | Our analysis indicated that the material came from a failed fuel element or an element prepared for research purposes.
|
| 38. | The plant uses U235 ) as a raw material which is processed to produce the final MTR-type fuel elements.
|
| 39. | It is then turned into a hard ceramic oxide ( UO 2 ) for assembly as reactor fuel elements.
|
| 40. | Each fuel element is placed inside a thin-walled stainless steel tube along with a small amount of sodium metal.
